Hello everyone!

Different types of vegetables are produced in our country throughout the year. Luffa acutangula is one of them. I have grown these vegetables in our vegetable garden. These works have increased in a very beautiful way. I have provided enough for the plants to grow. Yellow flowers have bloomed in my garden between thick green leaves. These flowers bloom at the moment of evening and look very nice. Also I've noticed that small Luffa acutangula have started to catch. And so I brought you to introduce me to my vegetable garden.

Luffa acutangula, also known as angled luffa or ridge gourd, is a tropical and subtropical vine of the cucumber family (Cucurbitaceae). It is widely cultivated for its edible fruit, which is popular in Asian and African cuisines, particularly in India, China, and Southeast Asia.

Appearance: Luffa acutangula has ridged, elongated fruits with prominent, sharp edges (or ridges). The skin is typically green and becomes hard and fibrous as it matures.

Edible Use: Young fruits are harvested while still tender and are used in cooking. The flesh has a mild taste and a slightly spongy texture, and it can be used in stir-fries, soups, and curries.

Non-Edible Use: When the fruit matures and dries, it can be harvested for its fibrous interior, which can be used as a natural sponge or scrubber, often for cleaning purposes.

Cultivation: Luffa acutangula prefers warm climates, requires well-drained soil, and grows best with plenty of sunlight. It is a climbing vine, often supported by trellises to allow the fruits to develop properly.

Luffa acutangula I have been growing in my vegetable garden for a long time. When I have to save I save very carefully and when the plants are not taken care of I am very careful. That's why I have a lot of these vegetables in my vegetable garden. As delicious as they are to eat, they grow very quickly. They become edible in just a few days. So I always try to harvest them with the same care as growing trees. I have several of these plants in my garden. Its green leaves, yellow flowers and green fruits all together make it very attractive.You can see how many have caught in my garden. The flowers bloom beautifully. But sometimes there are different types of attacks on these flowers and vegetables. I try to suppress them very nicely. And I always use a certain machine to suppress them. Where diseases are prevented by spraying different types of medicines and insects are suppressed. And this is how we try to produce large quantities.
